I gave all my contact numbers and never got a all back. Very disappointed. I was hoping with all the high reviews I expected more professionalism. read more

Randall was quick to reply to my initial request for a quote and showed up for a walk-through of the front and back yard of our home. We chatted about some ideas I had in mind and my concerns with some drainage issues I've noticed the last two rainy seasons we've lived here. His input made it easy for me to make a decision on a solution to my drainage issue and on removing some plants that look nice but are dangerous to have near children and dogs for their toxic properties. Randall's great client service, expert knowledge, and experience was enough to for me know I reached out to the right guy. He spares no detail in the interest of providing a great service to any client and is an all around pleasant person to meet with. I would definitely recommend him to friends and family. read more

Randall was really knowledgeable, friendly and gave us some really solid advice for our garden that we hadn't even thought of! We will certainly reach out to Randall in the near future for our garden and irrigation! read more

Consulted Randy about some previous wokr done and how to improve it. He was very knowledgeable and spent the right amount of time with me going through the possible next steps and diagnosing the problems we are having. Great guy! read more

I have a small project to install some sod and extend irrigation. Randy from Water Wise was very helpful and offered some great advice. Look forward to work with him soon on bigger projects in the near future. Strongly recommend! read more

I left a message on their voicemail, and got no reply after 6 days. Not a great reference, huh? xxxx Got a message from business that they were on vacation, I will update review when I get back from my vacation and try to contact the business again! read more

We finally did it...ie...replaced our front yard lawn with drought tolerant plants and Randy helped make the transition smooth. The process started with discussing the grass removal, then the kind of plants and plant placement, the irrigation and groundcover. Randy has been patient in answering all my questions. He is very knowledgable about plants and what will work in our climate. He loves and knows so much about flowers, evergreen shrubs, trees. He also tried to work within my budget and made sure we finished the project in time to meet the deadline for submission of my rebate application with DWP. it was clear that Randy loves what he is doing. In spite of the heatwave at the time he did the project, he did the work himself and personally installed the drip irrigation. He was patient and cool. He gave me instructions on how often to water, how to set the timer, how to check if the plants are getting enough water. Even when the project was finished, he was reachable by phone or by email and patiently answered my questions. He came to look at the plants and checked if the drip was working properly. He also explained to me how the drip irrigation works, how and when to prune and which plants to prune. I now have a yard that I am confident will be filled with blooms come Spring and at the same time not water thirsty. My lawn that used to consume a lot of precious water is now waterwise. Thanks to Randy in making the process not only possible but enjoyable. read more

I cannot speak highly enough of Randy. He came out on the weekend to offer a free estimate for work on my irrigation system. At no charge, he spent a lot of time analyzing my system and carefully/thoroughly explaining the issues to me. And what's more, he offered me a solution that didn't even benefit him. This is a genuine man of integrity (not commonly found these days), i wouldn't hesitate to use his company in the future. read more

We moved in right before the drought hit and any plans we had to turn our dirt lot into a turf lawn went right out the dusty, dry window. We were quite lost as to how to make the house look good on our budget and be realistic about our water use. We found Randy by accident as we were attempting to figure this all out on our own. He invested a mercifully generous amount of time in talking us through our plan (turns out we didn't have as much of one as we thought) and advised us on what we needed to do to prepare- from financing to foliage. Randy kindly and patiently walked us through every step of the planning over the course of several calls and a meeting where he proved to be a genuinely kind person and staggeringly educated about horticulture. Again, see his bio on his page here, I hadn't read it when we met. You can tell when people love their work and it's clear that Randy does. When the job-days came (and they came quickly!), he was efficient and even in the moment was still considering little improvements here and there. Along with beautiful (and, of course, drought tolerant) trees, shrubs and ground cover, he installed a drip irrigation system and tailored it to our yard, our watering capabilities and our future plans. Where we had a dust bowl we tried to not even walk through, we now have a beautiful, verdant area to entertain guests in the back, WAY more curb appeal than we had when we moved in and a system in place to maintain it all. Randy's encyclopedic knowledge of what works for watering, amount of sunlight, placement and aesthetics was more than we dared hope to find. We really couldn't have asked for better work or a more pleasant person to work with. Randy was amazing start to finish. We can't recommend him highly enough. read more

Randy is the epitome of professional. And he loves what he does -- which makes it really enjoyable. He was very patient with me as i changed my mind (and then delayed the project). I will definitely call him for my next project. read more

See all

Randy came out to help me add on to our existing irrigation system. When he arrived, he noticed that I already had an older system in place and recommended I use the existing system with a couple simple adjustments I could make by myself. He could have charged me a bunch of money to add a new one in, and I would have been ignorantly bliss with the results; instead, he was honest and kind enough to verbally walk me through the repair and save me a bunch of money. Its refreshing to work with such honest people and I will return to Water Wise Landscaping as I have more (and larger) project with which I need help! Thank you! read more

I hired Randy at Water Wise after calling and meeting with other companies that were unprofessional, unresponsive, and uncommunicative, wasting weeks of my time. Randy is the exact opposite. Randy is very easy to talk to and does not push his own vision or preferred materials on his customers. He is very collaborative and an excellent listener. He brings a great deal of knowledge about plants, trees, and irrigation to his projects. I valued his input and his willingness to work around my requirements, especially regarding a timeline. His team was very careful in executing the project and did not leave anything partly finished. He was able to come up with very good solutions to various problems I had, such as some difficult irrigation issues, and was very thorough in helping me understand what my options were. I would definitely call on Randy again for future work and recommend his services to others. read more

I called Randy's company after seeing the great reviews he had on Yelp. I was desperate for help as I just purchased a house and the irrigation system wasn't working, so I was worried the lawn and plants would die. Randy provided step by step instructions over the phone to help diagnose and solve the problem and he was extremely patient with me as I didn't know anything about irrigation systems. He told me to try the steps he provided and get back to him and it worked! I'm so grateful for his help! It's clear that he is very knowledgeable with irrigation systems. You can bet that I'll be reaching out to him in the future if I ever need landscaping or irrigation services. He is a class act and a genuinely good guy. I would highly recommend him. read more

Recently used Waterwise and had a great experience! Randy was great at communicating with us throughout the process and told us the best way to accomplish the results we wanted. We now have a backyard that we love and much of that was due to the the help from Waterwise. Thank you. read more

We were very fortunate to have found Randy. He was very punctual,helpful, honest and knowledgeable in all landscape matters. Randy spent a good mount of time with my wife and I explaining the pro and cons of using certain plants and materials, we can tell that he loves his job and extremely passionate about helping people in need. Thanks Randy! read more

My husband and I hired Randy to makeover our yard at a rental property where we had a strict budget. I rarely write yelp reviews, but I had to share this great experience. Randy was fantastic to work with the whole time! I was blown away by his professionalism, kindness, and expertise. He worked around our small budget and our timeframe and delivered a GORGEOUS final result. He even came back two days later to replace and move a plant that was getting too much sun and to teach me a little bit about watering my beautiful new plants (I don't exactly have a green thumb). I would HIGHLY recommend Randy for any landscaping design project you have. You will not be disappointed! He's excellent at what he does, gives incredibly fair prices, and is a genuine person who clearly cares about his clients. We couldn't be happier!! read more

After many years of not watering during the hotter months, we finally got tired of looking at our burned up and mostly dead grass front lawn. Though we knew we wanted to change it to a water wise lawn, we had no idea where to begin. We asked for referrals from friends and neighbors, did our due diligence to narrow down the list, and then contacted several landscaping companies and gardeners. Some never even responded to our inquiry. Enter Randy. He was very communicative from the start. And not just grunts and one word responses, but thought out and informative e-mails that got our wishes corralled enough to get started on the project. Once we were ready, Randy was very easy to schedule with. He was always there when he said he would be. (And you know that goes far if you've ever moved your schedule around to wait for someone who doesn't show up on time or at all.) The project timeline moved at a welcome fast pace. We went from start to finish in about a week. When we had a communication disconnect, Randy worked diligently and earnestly to fix the issue. Now we have the beginnings of the yard of our dreams (yes, plants take time to grow!). We highly recommend Randy for his vast plant knowledge, friendly and kind demeanor, and utter professionalism. read more

Wow! Working with Randy St. Aubyn is the best experience ever! It was a long time before I started the project to convert my yard to drought-tolerant, because I wanted to wait until I found someone I felt very comfortable with and I felt I could trust. When I met Randy I thought, "Okay, it's time to start." I've been very pleased with Randy's analysis of my space and the best plants and design to make it a pleasant outdoor environment. Randy listens to ideas that are important to me -- including that I want to see certain kinds of plants when I look out particular windows, I want to use plants that attract bees, hummingbirds and butterflies, and I want to have a yard that is low maintenance, as well as drought-tolerant. I also love that whenever possible (and that's a lot) Randy does all the work himself. I'm very grateful to have found Randy for this project. He obviously loves his career and makes it very enjoyable for the client. read more
